classic caesar cocktail

July 1, 2018

Canada Day has always been some of my fondest memories. Family barbecues, cover band live shows, festivals, fireworks, and so much more. Canada Day is about eating delicious food and hanging out with the people you love most.

It’s Canada Day and we want to celebrate it as Canadian as we can. What’s more Canadian than Caesars!? If you’re not Canadian you know these as Bloody Mary’s, but we promise Caesars are better. We’re not biased, we swear. However a classic Caesar has Clamato juice in it which is tomato juice with, you guessed it, clams! We know, it sounds disgusting, but it’s actually delicious. Now that we’re vegan obviously these are off limits, but we still want to enjoy Canada’s national cocktail. Vegans don’t fret, there is a way.

The perfect combination of tomatoy goodness, hot sauce, and taste of the sea – this cocktail is the drink you need today. As us vegans can’t enjoy Clamato Juice, we chose a vegetable cocktail as the perfect alternative. So get your poutine (if you haven’t see our poutine taste test yet, we discovered we may be too Canadian), maple syrup, and ketchup chips ready because it is time to celebrate Canada.

CLASSIC CAESAR COCKTAIL

If you're not Canadian, you probably know these as Bloody Mary's. However Caesars are better, we promise. A tradition Caesar includes clam juice, I know it's kinda gross, but it worked. As vegans we made a delicious substitute for this Canadian favourite. Happy Canada Day!
